What happens when childbirth begins unexpectedly far from a hospital and the first person assisting has no medical training?

In our third hackathon with Istekki, kood/Sisu developer teams explored an application concept for connecting people at the scene with an emergency dispatcher and a midwife.

The teams focused on usability, reliability, clear information, and reducing the user’s cognitive load. The winning concept combined medical experience with UX/UI expertise and expanded the idea to support users throughout pregnancy.

The challenge highlighted an essential part of modern software development. Building the interface is only one part of the work. Developers must also understand the user, the situation, and the wider system around the solution.

👉 How did four teams approach the same challenge, and what made the winning concept stand out? Read the full story: https://koodsisu.fi/2026/09/03/istekki-hackathon-3-2/

Your software tools may already be doing their job. The challenge is often what happens between them.

We regularly see organisations using modern platforms that work well on their own, yet employees still spend time moving information between systems. A few minutes here and there may seem small, but repeated every day across an organisation, those minutes quickly add up annually.

Connecting workflows, automating data movement, and reducing manual steps can create significant gains without replacing existing systems. No more costs, or adding another software for every person to learn in your organisation - just combining software into one seamless workflow.

Sometimes the fastest way forward is to test the idea first.

Several organisations, such as Istekki, Novapolis and Documtec Oy have already worked with us to explore challenges through rapid prototyping and hackathon-style development. Instead of spending months debating potential solutions, teams can evaluate multiple approaches in a short timeframe. After that, it's easy to start building the actual finished product.

This approach is especially valuable when there is no single obvious answer. Exploring different concepts quickly can help identify risks, validate ideas, and uncover opportunities before committing to a larger project.

Where should AI actually be used?

It is one of the most common questions organisations ask today. The cost of AI tools, subscriptions and tokens is rising, creating the next challenge for businesses to focus their resources smartly. The answer is often different from what people initially expect: The greatest opportunities are usually not found in the most visible processes. They are found in repetitive tasks, hidden bottlenecks, and manual workflows that quietly consume time every day and annually.

Before investing in new technology and entering into another subscription, it is worth understanding where technology and AI can create measurable value and where human expertise should remain at the centre. The end user is human after all.

AI should create more time for people. 📢

The most valuable human work in organisations might not happen in repetitive routines. It happens when people solve complex problems, make decisions, support customers, and develop new ideas. By reducing repetitive tasks, organisations can redirect attention toward work where human expertise creates the greatest value - for humans.

The question is not whether AI belongs in the workplace. The question is where it can create the most meaningful impact for your team.

Better user experiences start with removing complexity.

When we worked on projects such as pricing calculators and quote request workflows, the goal was not to add more features. The goal was to make the next step easier for the end user. Small improvements in clarity can have a surprisingly large impact. When people understand what they need to do, where they are in a process, and what happens next, they are more likely to complete the journey.

If your website generates interest but not enough conversations, the challenge may not be traffic. It may be the experience.

You don't need technical expertise to start a software project with us.

Many organisations know there are bottlenecks, unnecessary manual processes, or opportunities for improvement. What they often don't have is a technical plan to solve that. It's completely fine: with us, the process starts with a free assessment where we focus on understanding the business challenge first. If a project opportunity is identified, we prepare a proposal, fixed-price estimate, and ROI calculation before development begins.

We believe that good projects start with clear conversations, not technical jargon.

What could your team do with an extra 200 hours per year?

Many companies already use several software tools and SaaS platforms every day. Yet we still see the same challenge recur: information is manually transferred between systems, spreadsheets are exported, and employees spend valuable time repeating the same tasks.

We believe technology should free people to focus on work that requires communication, creativity, and expertise. When unnecessary manual steps are removed, teams gain time for the things that actually move the business and the customer experience forward.

Every software project is a human project.

Behind every platform, workflow, interface, and integration is a person solving a real business challenge. Technology matters, but understanding people is what turns software into something useful for the actual customer and the end user.

Our projects are delivered by our own network of AI-native software professionals with diverse backgrounds and practical experience. We believe that different perspectives lead to stronger solutions because business challenges rarely fit inside a single technical box.

For us, successful development means building something that works for both the organisation and the people using it every day.
